1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo explore the short-term effectiveness of domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) conducted by a prospective randomized controlled trial.

methodsPatients who were scheduled for primary unilateral TKA between October 2020 and December 2020 were eligible in this randomized controlled trial. According to the random number table method, they were allocated to the traditional TKA group and the RATKA group [application of the Yuanhua robotic-assisted TKA (YUANHUA-TKA) system during operation]. A total of 63 patients met the selection criteria were enrolled in the study, of which 3 cases voluntarily withdrew from the trial. And finally 60 cases were enrolled for analysis; of which 28 cases were in the RATKA group and 32 cases were in the traditional TKA group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, duration of osteoarthritis, surgical side, and preoperative knee visual analogue scale (VAS) resting and motion scores, joint range of motion (ROM), Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain, stiffness, and function scores, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) deviation (

resultsThe operations of the two groups completed successfully; the incisions healed by first intention after operation, and no complications related to the operation occurred. The operation time of the RATKA group was significantly longer than that of the traditional TKA group (

conclusionYUANHUA-TKA system can improve the accuracy of osteotomy and the prosthesis placement as well as the lower limb alignment. Its short-term effectiveness can be promised, but long-term effectiveness needs to be further studied.
